Warner Bros has made some release date changes, unrelated to its pending marriage with Paramount.
DC’s Robins-origin puppets-meet-animation feature Dynamic Duo is moving from June 30, 2028, to Septemer 22, 2028. The reasoning is that Warner Bros distribution believes this will be a good back-to-school animated feature slot for not just K-12 but also teens and college kids. The movie has the potential to hit the Spider-Verse crowd.
Coincidentally, this shifts Dynamic Duo away from Paramount’s big feature take on the video game Call of Duty on June 30. There are no Paramount movies on September 22, 2028.
Also shifting forward, is the untitled Chris Columbus-directed Gremlins movie, which is moving from November 19, 2027, to Oct. 6, 2028 (Warners had good luck in that first weekend of October with Joker). The Gremlins pic wasn’t up against any Paramount movies on its 2027 date, nor is it on its new weekend.

Dynamic Duo marks the first joint project between DC Studios and the Bill Damaschke-led WBPA.
The 6th & Idaho movie scripted by Matthew Aldrich is being made by a new animation studio out of New Orleans named Swaybox and that studio’s husband-and-wife creators Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson. Mintz will direct this movie, which follows the early days of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd aka the Robins.
InSneider recently announced the voice cast for Dynamic Duo: Mason Thames as Dick Grayson, Logan Kim as Jason Todd, Lee Pace as Red Hood One and Steve Buscemi as Red Hood Two.

The third Gremlins feature has a current draft from Hannah Marks off a screenplay by Columbus, Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside 26th Street Pictures’ Columbus, Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe. Steven Spielberg is executive producing alongside Maiden Voyage’s Eleanor Columbus. Joe Dante directed the first two Gremlins movies.
Here’s what the Gremlins did on social:

A Tennessee judge granted Dolly Parton’s estate a temporary restraining order Wednesday against the late singer’s nephew Bryan Seaver and his private security company.
She’s Alive, the entity founded to manage Parton’s estate, had filed the complaint against Seaver and Squadron Augmented Protection Services a day prior. The estate accused Seaver, who was Parton’s head of security, of threatening to commit violence and destroy his aunt’s legacy and business empire in court filings.
As part of the order, Seaver and SAPS must refrain from talking with or being within 1,000 feet of She’s Alive employees, attorneys and business partners. The order is also meant to keep him from interfering with its business relationships.
A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 7.
Seaver, who owns a company that provided Parton’s security detail and was handpicked by the star to announce her death from cancer last month, did not respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment Tuesday. No one came to the door Wednesday at an address listed in court documents for Seaver in the semi-rural Nashville suburb of Fairview. A woman speaking to a reporter through a doorbell camera said that they would not be speaking to anyone.
In the temporary restraining order request filed by She’s Alive, the entity that manages and protects Parton’s professional property and business, and other court documents, Seaver is accused of sending increasingly threatening messages over the last several weeks. She’s Alive is run by Danny Nozell, Parton’s longtime manager.
Last week, She’s Alive terminated Seaver and SAPS, saying his “terrorizing conduct made their continued retention untenable,” according to court documents. The company is also named in the complaint; its representatives did not respond to an emailed request for comment Tuesday.
The request alleges that Seaver and his company used “terroristic threats, harassment, and intimidation” against She’s Alive.
“Those means are especially improper because they have been deployed as part of a calculated campaign by a trained military/private-security operative with access to an arsenal of military-grade weaponry, rather than through any legitimate commercial or legal process,” the court documents read.
It accuses him of being “emboldened” and “relentless” in his threats against She’s Alive since Parton’s death.
“He has individually, and through his associates, made repeated written threats to Ms. Parton’s staff, legal and business advisers, and others,” it reads. “These were not ordinary workplace disputes or heated words; they were deliberate threats from a self-proclaimed heavily armed, former security operative with a military-contractor background.”
The court documents showcase a series of text messages and emails She’s Alive says were sent by Seaver, starting just before Parton’s death. The messages begin with threats to destroy Parton’s brand, and then after her death, depict Seaver reveling in his newfound fame and calling himself an “international arms dealer and mercenary.”
In one message written on Sept. 1 and included in the court documents, he said: “I’m going to set up a podcast dedicated to ruining Dolly’s brand partnerships and telling the violations these people have done on us. It’s going to be great. Or f—— pay me.”
Seaver also claimed that he worked for private military contractors overseas during the Iraq War and used that experience as part of these threats, according to the complaint.
In another text message, he alleges that he “just sold 29 million dollars worth of ammo to Haiti.”
The messages have resulted in Parton’s trusts and estates attorney leaving and employees of She’s Alive resigning, according to the court documents. The entity has also had to hire private security for its employees, including at their homes, according to the documents.
“I mean, they literally call him a terrorist in this complaint,” CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi said. “The text messages that they’ve provided do paint a picture, a very scary picture, of really an unhinged person. However, I will say that it’s light on the technical legal details.”
In a prerecorded video announcing Parton’s death last month, Seaver said that his video was “something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality.”
He described it as “an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus.”

A bitter battle over Dolly Parton’s legacy took a dramatic turn Tuesday when her longtime manager sought a restraining order against the country icon’s nephew.
Danny Nozell, who runs She’s Alive, LLC, an entity Parton created to oversee her business interests, filed for a restraining order against Bryan Seaver in Nashville, according to The Associated Press.
Parton chose Seaver to publicly announce her death. The singer-songwriter died Aug. 25.
Less than a month later, a behind-the-scenes feud erupted into a legal battle.

Nozell and She’s Alive accused Seaver of sending increasingly threatening messages in the weeks leading up to their request for a temporary restraining order. The filing came after She’s Alive fired Seaver over his alleged “terrorizing conduct.”
Court documents obtained by The Associated Press show text messages and emails allegedly sent by Seaver.
The messages initially included threats to destroy the brand and, after Parton’s death, allegedly showed Seaver reveling in his newfound fame and calling himself an “international arms dealer.”

In one message written Sept. 1 and included in the court documents, Seaver said, “I’m going to set up a podcast dedicated to ruining Dolly’s brand partnerships and telling the violations these people have done on us. It’s going to be great. Or f—ing pay me.”
According to the court documents, the alleged messages rattled those within Parton’s business circle, leading several employees to resign and her trust and estate attorney to step away. She’s Alive also brought in private security to protect employees at work and at their homes.
She’s Alive terminated Seaver Sept. 15 and asked the court to bar Parton’s nephew from contacting or coming within 1,000 feet of its employees, attorneys and business partners.

Seaver pushed back against the allegations in a statement shared with TMZ.
“I am a career soldier and military contractor and do conduct arms deals for foreign governments. I am a security professional, and I am a killer,” he told the outlet. “However, nothing in this lawsuit were threats, and most of the comments I stand by.”
He claimed the messages had been taken out of context to make them appear threatening.

“I was talking frankly in a private way with Danny, who I thought was my friend, and he fancies himself a gangster,” he said. “A lot of these messages are two guys having rage talk and crying on the phone together while we were grieving.”

Roseanne Barr eviscerated her former TV son Michael Fishman in an expletive rant after he spoke out about her 2018 racism controversy last month.
“He f–king doesn’t even f–king know what I said,” she claimed in an upcoming episode of the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast. “Even though I’ve explained it 10,000 times for nine years on the internet.”
Barr, who appeared on “Roseanne” with Fishman from 1988 to 1997, claimed he “hasn’t even taken the time to listen” to what she has to say and labeled him a “brainwashed bigot.”
According to the actress, Fishman — who portrayed her onscreen son, DJ Conner, in “Roseanne” — had asked Barr to explain her rant to him in private after she had already tried to before, and so she gave him a heated response.
“I told him, ‘Let me explain this to you, Michael. Go and f—k yourself and stay f—ked until the day you die. Don’t f—king put my name in your f—king mouth. Shut the f—k up.’”
Barr said that Fishman will never understand what she said because the Democratic party has been “shoved down [his] throat and up [his] ass.”
She continued, “F—k you. You have no geopolitical context whatsoever to discuss what I said. Go f—k yourself you little f—king worm.”
The comedian also claimed that she was the only reason why he was brought back for the “Roseanne” reboot in 2018.
“I was the only reason you were on that show. They wanted to get rid of you in the reboot and I made them take you back. F—k you, you little f—king putz,” she concluded.
Page Six has reached out to a rep for Fishman for comment.
As Page Six previously reported, Barr launched a racist tweetstorm in May 2018, which targeted Chelsea ​Clinton, George Soros and former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
The following day, she issued a blanket apology and announced she was leaving Twitter.
“I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans,” Barr wrote. “I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”
Shortly after her horrific rant, ABC canceled the “Roseanne” reboot, which had just premiered two months earlier.
Days later, her feud with Fishman kicked off with Barr claiming her sitcom son threw her “under the bus” — after he “vehemently” condemned her racist tweets.
The actor, notably, went on to star on ABC’s “The Conners,” which was a direct continuation of the series “Roseanne,” just without Barr.
Last month, Fishman defended ABC’s firing of Barr while noting that “good people make mistakes” and that he “love[s] the one who made this mistake” and “always will.”
“I’ll always have compassion and love [for Barr], and I’ve shown it continuously and she helped the world understand that good people can make mistakes,” he said.
“But there was no joke. There was only damage and dehumanizing — and perpetuating racial tropes leads to real-world consequences.”

Disney+ got its fourth price hike in four years today. Hulu prices also went up.
Disney+ and Hulu’s respective standalone, ad-free plans (which also support 4K and HDR) are each increasing 13 percent from $19 per month to $21.50/month.
Disney+ and Hulu’s respective standalone plans with ads increased from $12 to $12.50.
The Walt Disney Company also increased prices for bundles of the streaming services, including those with ESPN.
The price for the Disney+ and Hulu bundle without ads increased from $20/month to $22/month. The Disney+ and Hulu bundle with ads ($13) didn’t get more expensive.
However, prices increased for the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundles with ads (from $20 to $22) and without ads (from $29 to $33).
Monthly subscription prices for Hulu + Live, which adds cable channels delivered over the Internet to Hulu’s on-demand options, went up by $10.
For comparison, Netflix is currently $9/month with ads and starts at $20/month without ads. There’s also a $27/month ad-free plan for premium features, like 4K. That means Disney+ and Hulu are both more expensive than the most popular streaming service now, unless you want 4K or HDR.
The last time that Disney+ raised prices was in October 2025. It also raised prices in October 2024, October 2023, and December 2022. It launched in 2019.
Hulu’s most recent price hikes occurred in October 2025, October 2024, October 2023, and October 2022. It launched in 2008.
Today’s price hikes follow Disney increasing the price for both tiers of its ESPN streaming service on September 17.
In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Disney reported that revenue from Disney+ and Hulu increased 11 percent. Operating income for Disney+ and Hulu combined increased 116 percent year over year to $712 million. Netflix, for comparison, reported operating income of $4.19 billion in its most recent earnings report. Netflix has many more subscribers (325 million as of January) than Disney+ (131.6 million as of September 2025) and Hulu (59.7 million subscribers for its on-demand streaming service as of September 2025).
Price hikes are likely part of Disney’s ongoing effort at streaming profitability. Netflix’s success shows there is still ample room for growth. The new prices may also steer customers more toward bundles, which streaming service providers believe lead to fewer cancellations and help Disney manage the unpredictable ads market.
